Goethe-Zertifikat B2 · Schreiben · Teil 1
Meinungsbeiträge für ein Internetforum – Standpunkt, Begründung, Alternativen, Bewertung. Mit Einleitung und Schluss, ohne Anrede.
Around 150 words in an internet forum, worth 60 of the module's 100 points, with four Inhaltspunkte that all have to be handled. It is public and unaddressed: the rubric asks for an Einleitung and a Schluss and does not ask for an Anrede or a Gruß. Adding "Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren" to a forum post is a register error, and register is marked.
The four bullets are not four topics, they are a functional arc: state an opinion, give reasons, propose alternatives, weigh those alternatives up. Writing four descriptive paragraphs answers none of them. The verbs in the bullets tell you which speech act each one wants, and Aufgabenerfüllung is graded on whether you performed it.
Two failure modes account for most lost points. Handling three of the four bullets caps Erfüllung at B however good the German is — and if Erfüllung is graded E, the whole task scores zero. Dropping the Einleitung or the Schluss costs you in Kohärenz, which is a full 14 points at stake for something that takes two sentences.
No — and adding them costs you. A forum post is public and unaddressed; the rubric asks instead for an Einleitung and a Schluss. Anrede and Gruß belong to the Nachricht in Teil 2.
Aufgabenerfüllung drops — three points handled appropriately is a B at best — and strong vocabulary and structures do not win those Erfüllung points back. If Erfüllung is graded E, the task scores zero outright.
Below half the required length — under 75 words — Erfüllung is graded E and the task scores zero. Above that the criteria set no fixed deduction for length, but Umfang is part of what Erfüllung assesses — four Inhaltspunkte dealt with properly take roughly the length the task asks for.
